WHO PEDIATRIC HOME CARE IS FOR
A child does not need a confirmed diagnosis to qualify; the qualifier is the child’s documented medical or functional need.
Children with a tracheostomy, on mechanical ventilation, or on BiPAP/CPAP at home, needing suctioning and respiratory support.
Children with G-tubes, continuous feeds, or seizure protocols requiring skilled nursing oversight.
Children with cerebral palsy, genetic conditions, or developmental needs requiring hands-on daily support.
Medically fragile children transitioning home from the hospital or NICU who need skilled care to stay safely at home.
CONDITIONS WE SERVE
A child does not need a confirmed diagnosis to qualify; the qualifier is the child’s documented medical or functional need. These are the conditions our pediatric team supports most often.
Suctioning, inner-cannula care, and ventilator or BiPAP/CPAP support at home.
G-tube, NG-tube, and continuous-feed management by the nursing team.
Seizure protocols, rescue-medication administration, and monitoring.
Mobility, positioning, and daily-care support for children with CP.
Care for genetic conditions and developmental needs of all kinds.
Medically fragile infants and children transitioning home from the hospital.
HOW IT WORKS
Typically 7 to 14 days when billing Medicaid CHC or EPSDT, and 24 to 72 hours for private pay or commercial insurance with prior authorization in hand.
Call (215) 490-9994. A pediatric care coordinator listens to the child’s diagnosis, the current specialist team, and the family’s day, and tells you the right payer route on the first call.
A pediatric registered nurse visits the home within 48 hours, reviews the orders, and builds a plan of care around the child’s needs.
A-Team assigns pediatric-trained nurses and aides matched to the child’s needs and schedule, prioritizing consistency.
Care starts on the authorized schedule, with the RN coordinating directly with the child’s physicians and hospital team.
WHY A-TEAM FOR PEDIATRIC CARE
One nurse per child, EPSDT expertise, and RN-supervised care coordinated with the child’s whole team.
Private-duty nursing means the RN or LPN is assigned to your child for the full shift, never splitting time across other patients.
A-Team’s team knows the EPSDT and Medicaid waiver routes that cover pediatric home care, so most families pay nothing out of pocket.
Nurses and aides trained for trachs, vents, G-tubes, seizures, and the needs of medically complex children.
Every child has a registered-nurse plan of care, coordinated with the hospital and specialist team.
In most cases a parent, grandparent, or sibling age 18+ can be hired and paid as the child’s caregiver.
In-network with all three Pennsylvania CHC plans, plus EPSDT and waiver pathways for children.
Direct communication with the child’s physicians, NICU, and specialist teams for safe transitions home.
Local clinicians who speak English, Spanish, Russian, or Ukrainian, matched by family preference.

HOW IT IS COVERED
EPSDT, the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment benefit, is the federal Medicaid benefit that pays for in-home pediatric nursing, therapy, equipment, and supplies for children under age 21. Under EPSDT, Pennsylvania Medicaid must cover any service that is medically necessary to correct or ameliorate a child’s condition. EPSDT is the reason most families do not pay out of pocket for pediatric home care in Pennsylvania.
PRIVATE DUTY NURSING
Private duty nursing (PDN) is one-on-one, shift-based in-home nursing care by a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse assigned to a single child for the full shift, 4, 8, 12, or 16 hours, without splitting time across other patients. PDN is the standard of care for children on home ventilation, tracheostomy, continuous feeds, or with documented frequent skilled needs.
